In the IPL 2025 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the Delhi Capitals clinched a super over win over the Rajasthan Royals. However, after the match, Delhi Capitals’ bowling coach Munaf Patel has been fined and given a demerit point by the BCCI. It was due to Patel’s argument with the umpire during the match.
Munaf Patel’s heated argument
The match gained further attention when a video surfaced showing Munaf Patel, the bowling coach for Delhi Capitals, involved in a heated argument with the fourth umpire. The incident occurred near the boundary, where Munaf was visibly upset about the umpire not allowing a message to be relayed to the field.
As a result of this altercation, Munaf Patel was fined 25% of his match fees and awarded one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct. He admitted to a Level 1 offence under Article 2.20, which concerns conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, and accepted the match referee’s sanction.

Despite Rajasthan looking set for a win until the final moments, fast bowler Mitchell Starc’s performance helped Delhi turn the game in their favour. Starc conceded only 8 runs in the 20th over, which levelled the scores, and allowed just 11 runs in the Super Over. Delhi successfully chased the target in four balls to register a memorable win.
Role of Munaf Patel in the match
Despite the controversy, Munaf’s contribution as a bowling coach has been notable, as some of the credit for Delhi’s impressive bowling effort is attributed to him. This performance played a crucial role in turning the tables during the match.
Mitchell Starc was named Player of the Match for his crucial spell. He took 1 wicket for 36 runs in his 4 overs, with the 20th over being particularly important in pushing the game to a Super Over.
